Please join us here at NEH headquarters on September 28 for the fourth annual Digital Humanities Start-up Grant Project Directors Meeting. The meeting is open to the general public and we hope that digital humanities enthusiasts from the Washington, DC area will join us. Some of the most exciting and cutting-edge projects in the humanities over the past few years had their start in this program. This is your chance to learn, first-hand, about all the amazing 46 Start-up projects funded during 2010.

During the meeting, each of the project directors will be doing lightning-round presentations about their projects. So it is your chance to survey the future of the digital humanities in 46 quick bursts. The projects range across nearly every conceivable discipline in the humanities and also involve a wide range of technologies. Many also involve cultural institutions like museums, libraries, and archives.

We're also happy to say that as a lunchtime keynote speaker, we'll have Bryan Alexander, Director of Research from NITLE, giving a talk called “Thrilling Wonder Stories of Cyberculture.”
